Critics Consensus

Beautiful scenery and cinematography can't save Turistas from its wooden acting and stale and predictable plot.

It's a film that's more likely to leave you confused and angry than frightened or inspired that something positive is happening in the horror genre.

This is just a predictable slice of slasher porn set in an exotic locale.

C-

Touted as the first American production to be shot entirely in Brazil, Turistas may well be the last, if the country cares at all about its image.

3/5

The grotesque special effects and motivations for the mayhem make it a strong example of a redundant premise, though it can't escape the subgenre's failings.

7/10

One of the more realistic horror movies I've seen in a long time... I think that the themes, the idea of the storyline and the acting was on point.

An unpleasant horror thriller about revolting thrill-seeking tourists in Brazil.

This was a great watch! Recommended to fans of movies where a group of friends gets into trouble. Really puts into perspective how a visit to a foreign country can easily turn sideways if not careful or "let loose" a bit too much.

Way underrated flick on the black market organ idea. It’s an enthralling flick despite its imperfections.

Good movie about kids traveling abroad and the dangers they encounter. Melissa George, Olivia Wilde, and Josh Duhamel make up a good cast. The story is peppered with great cinematography of the landscapes. My only nick pick is the characters they cast to play the bad guys were not chosen well.

This is a weird depressing movie about human meat. The director made this movie on purpose to showcase his fetish in an interview apparently. But back to the movie it's about teens running through the jungle to get away from people smuggling organs. Nothing interesting nothing great or good about this movie.

Turistas excels at keeping tensions high to the last minute, so although the plot is somewhat predictable, it’s impossible to stop watching before it ends. It’s also well-paced with just enough action to balance out its slower sequences. Overall, I really enjoyed it.
